Product Description Epic romantic drama based on Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning novel set during the American Civil War. Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) often uses men to get what she wants, but is unable to get the one man she truly desires, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard). She soon meets her match in the roguish Captain Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) and in the war itself which destroys the genteel way of life she has always known. With determination she rebuilds her life from the shattered remains the Union Army leaves behind. Despite its sometimes troubled production (director George Cukor was replaced by Victor Fleming, with Sam Wood brought in when Fleming's health failed), the film won ten Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress. desertcart.co.uk Review Gone with the Wind is a sprawling mosaic of a picture, one of the best-loved and most successful in movie history, but also one of the most frustrating. Wonderfully epic in scope, the decline and fall of the antebellum South as seen through the eyes of feisty, independent and wilful heroine Scarlett O'Hara makes the first half of the picture an absolutely riveting spectacle. From the aristocratic old world of Tara to the horrors of Atlanta under siege, Gone with the Wind features any number of indelible scenes and images: the genteel girls taking an enforced siesta during the Twelve Oaks barbecue, a horrified Scarlett walking through the wounded, the flight from burning Atlanta, and Scarlett's moving pledge against a burnished sunset set to Max Steiner's glorious music score. But the second half shifts gear, the melodramatic quotient is upped yet further as tragedy piles upon tragedy, and despite its unwieldy length everything feels rushed. Add to that the central problem that the audience never really understands, why Scarlett could ever fall for weak-chinned Ashley in the first place, and the picture begins to unravel unsatisfactorily. Behind the scenes problems doubtless contributed, with directors coming and going, Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable apparently barely able to stand the sight of each other, and producer David O Selznick's endless rewrites and interference. Nonetheless, this 1939 box-office smash remains one of Hollywood's finest achievements, an irresistible spectacle chock-full of the finest stars in the filmic firmament striking sparks off one another. They really don't make 'em like this anymore. On the DVD: No extra features on this DVD, which is a pity given the amount of material that must be available, but it has to be admitted this disc is worth the asking price simply to drink in the astonishing quality of the picture, sumptuously presented in its original 1.33:1 "Academy" ratio. The mono sound is vivid, too, showcasing Max Steiner's headily romantic score. -- Mark Walker

You have to set the reality of slavery totally aside and watch this as a gorgeous fairy tale.
You have to set the reality of slavery totally aside, and watch this film as a gorgeous fairy tale of a picture about an unbelievably beautiful girl (who could possibly have been lovelier than Vivien Leigh?) and a wonderfully handsome man, (Clark Gable) and the characters around them before, during and after the American Civil War. For all its amazing scope and incredible set pieces, what holds it together for me is the absolutely wonderful performance by Hattie McDaniel, for which she rightly won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress. The technicolour is sumptuous, and it really is a wonderful film..

Couldn't believe how this kept me in my seat
Admittedly, my chair is comfortable, but this is something I would painstakingly avoid watching if it wasn't for me being tasked to study Clark Gable's character for a study into masculinity.Impressive for its time, and not entirely irrelevant now, this 80 year old production is one of the true classics that I think everyone should watch.

A Period Of American History Captured
A film well worth watching, setting a period of history, and attitudes of the time, into a well produced visual depiction of the novel.

Gran calidad de imagen
Esta es una valoracion del bluray ASIN B00LTQPB6W Es la edicion italiana del 75 aniversario, la mas completa de las que habia disponibles, aunque el master es exactamente el mismo que se utilizó para el 70 aniversario, yo tengo ambos ahora y diría que sin embargo este del 75 lo percibo algo más nítido, pero puede ser una impresión subjetiva.En cualquier caso esta perfectamente hecho y da gusto verlo en contraste con VHS (alguno no sabra de que hablo) o DVD. El sonido está mejorado al máximo, pero es menos mejorable que la imagen, desgraciadamente, pero esta bastante bien. Los extras son buenos, aunque prefiero los del 70 aniversario que ya no se vende.Cabrían muchas interpretaciones a la luz de los tiempos actuales, pero abstrayéndonos de las tendencias, es una de las mejores películas jamás hechas, que hoy no podría volver hacerse porque seria inasequible económicamente.Claro que pensar que cuando se estrenó en España diez años después de hacerse, en 1949 en el cine Callao, los mas “conservadores” plagaron de chinchetas los alrededores del cine para boicotear el estreno de la “escandalosa” pelicula hace que uno sonria.El envío por parte de Amazon fue rápido y perfecto.

My favourite movie
It is my all time favourite movie. However I regret buying blu-ray disc as it does not allow me to continue watching from where I left off, so it is quite annoying to me.

Toujours aussi fantastique
Peu importe son âge, cette fresque reste inimitable. Presque 4 heures retraçant la vie et le déclin d'une civilisation qui n'existe plus. Acteurs magistraux. Effets spéciaux surprenants pour l'époque. Un pan d'histoire qui reste vivant grâce à ce film.
